just out of curiosity, what's your favorite alternative/secondary plugin for basses/leads?
i assume most people using NI Massive.. so let's say that you're start a new project and you must using another synth, what it would be?

Can't remember the last time I even opened Massive th
Synth1 is extremely versatile and freeware ( if I'm not using my Darkstar)

I usually make electro-ish stuff, not so heavily modulated so for that I'd definately say Sylenth1 just because it sounds good.

Yeah I use Synth1 a lot, also Lusus occasionally. I've been playing around with samples more recently though.

Rez is also a badass.
There's a blue synth I can't remember the name of.
The drive on the filter is amazing.

Camel Audio Alchemy, which is now basically my go to synth come to think about it.
Often I'll bounce out a single sustained note from something like Massive, load it into one of the sources within Alchemy, then layer other samples and oscillators within Alchemy over this. Essentially utilising Alchemy as a hybrid sampler / soft synth and able to manipulate all sources as one sound.
Cannot wait for Alchemy 2

Alchemy isn't cheap though.

I just make a nice and fat reese on Absynth or Massive and bounce it, Kontakt and resampling do the rest of the work.

resampling is helpful. i play stuff through my old outboard bass effects and resample it into maschine. amazing what that can do in a short amount of time.
